Expecto Patr-OHH YEEEEEEEEE!

It's now Ciri's turn to try animate her statue, after the disastrous results of Reima's creation she was determined not to have it start flirting with her or starting fighting things..."Animatis" she chants, causing the statues to stumble backwards before stand upright and awaiting her commands. Seeing this the other Examiners nod in approval.

Meredith "Nicely done. Now, I'd like you both to make these fire-resistant." she says gesturing towards the statues who are now looking towards her...

As this came under charms Ciri quickly cast the Flame-freezing charm "Incendi" soon followed by Reima who casts the same spell on his own statue.

After they'd cast the spells Trumpus grins and shoots a slightly too powerful "Incendio" at it, hoping that they'd be burned to a crisp so he could fail them for something. The fire evenlopes the wooden statues before fading away, revealing them to be completely unharmed...

Meredith scowls, "Trumpus! This is not proper procedure, if you do not wish to adjudicate seriously then leave!"

Trumpus "Apologies Mrs Pontshrub, I was too eager to test their spells and may have lost myself... Please continue."

The elderly woman gives him one last warning glare before turning back to the duo who were watching the events passively. "While proper procedure was not followed your spells held up and protected the statues against Trumpus spell, well done." after saying this she levitates the two animated statues onto the floor below them and asks, "Now, I would like for both of you to destroy these in any manner you see necessary."

..

Reima "Any requirements?" he asks, unsure what she wants from them."

Meredith "None at all."

Shrugging Reima casts "Evanesco" causing the statue of Nerissa to fade away, as if it hadn't existed in the first place.

Ciri's brows furrow when she sees what Reima had done, know that she wasn't able to use that spell yet... Instead she leans her staff at the statue and casts "Reducto" she says causing a blue bolt to shoot at the statue, that on impact causes it to explode into a fine dust, leaving only smoke in it's wake.

Meredith and Edmund look satisfied at the results, quietly commenting to each to other about the methods the duo had used. Most obviously praising Reima for his high level in Transfiguration.

Meredith "Well, that's everything... Unless you have anything else to show us? Any unique skills that were not included in the test?" she asks giving an appraising look to the duo.

Reima nods, "Would casting the Patronus charm help my placing?" he asks.

Meredith "Of course, such a charm is incredibly difficult to cast, even some Auror's find it difficult to use. Being able to cast it at your age would be an impressive talent indeed."

Reima nods, "Ok..." he says before closing his eyes and going through his own memories to find the happiest one of all. It's actually pretty difficult even with his Occlumency to sort which of his memories are the most happy, this is due to other emotions like lust, greed, gluttony and even love not actually contributing to the spell at all. Taking this into account, most of his memories wouldn't even power a incorporeal Patronus due to them being marred in greed, lust or love. Therefore he has to delve deeper into his memories to find a suitable one, his time in Harry Potter? Too much lust, Dark Souls? Not good enough, Absolver? Too many other emotions... Eventually he's reached his time in the Witcher world, what he'd experienced while travelling, most of it isn't happy... This continues until he reaches Kaer Morhen, receiving his silver sword from Geralt was a good memory, however he still didn't think it was good enough. Eventually he finds himself sitting atop his favorite balcony overlooking the courtyard of Kaer Morhen, Geralt silently meditating next to him while they're surrounded by candles.

"Expecto Patronum!" he exclaims, causing a bright light to erupt from the top of his staff, blinding everyone in the room and sending out a pulse of sheer joy that quickly envelopes the castle.

Elsewhere in the Headmasters office :

Dumbledore had just finished completing the final preparations for Durmstrangs arrival, why they wished to sail here and not simply use the train escapes him as he makes an exception for them regarding the wards. Suddenly Fawkes chirps loudly as a walls of sheer joy explodes through his office, not physically doing anything but making him simply feel happy, he gets up and looks out the window towards where they could have come from but doesn't see anyone from his vantage point. He can only assume it's those transfer students as their placement exams should have started around now... Again, he isn't surprised that they were able to cast such strong spells, simply by looking at the aura they had exuded in the great hall he could tell they were exceptionally powerful. Although it did make him at ease that they were capable of casting the Patronus charm as most Dark Wizards were incapable of such a feat.

Around the school a similar phenomenon was seen, the walls of joy causing all of the students and teachers to perk up and become more determined, studious and all in all, happy. Only a few students actually knew what had happened and one Harry Potter could already guess who was responsible...

So yeah, Reima's Patronus = OP, who woulda guessed... All of you? Man, I'm really losing it.

As always, if I missed anything please let me know.
